What Order Should My Case Fans Be In? *NEWBIE*

[thecrow785]

Ok I just installed some new case fans and I'm not sure what order of air-flow they should be in. I want Maximum cooling, with a capital 'M'

Right now this is the order:

Front 80mm (Closer to motherboard) = Intake
Front 80mm (Away from motherboard) = Exhaust
Side Panel 80mm = Exhaust
Rear 120mm = Intake


If this can be adjusted, please help me out, and re-arrange that order above ;)

Thanx, I have changed the order of the fans, I can feel much cooler air coming out of the pc than before, however my graphics card is still running a little hot at 60 degrees

What graphics card do you have?

60C doesn't sound bad at all.

I have an ASUS Nvidia 6800 AGP card with Asus stock cooler.

Now I dont mean to make anyone panic, but, MY PC SMELLS LIKE IT'S BURNING!!

I checked everything, but I cant see anything wrong with it :eek:

Just turn it off and see if you can smell were it's coming from.

It was my 120mm fan :O I got it replaced now, and my pc has never been this quiet or cool!
